"The album ends on a high with the joyous love song ‘More of the Same’, where Prince’s words are finally able to match the music, and he is, mercifully, content and grateful that good things have come to him at last. “Love chose me and I chose to receive it…how can I complain?” he muses, comparing his love to “strawberry pie”. After eight sombre tunes on this excellent album, it is great to hear that the singer can make room for happiness in his life." (Jonny Brick, americana-uk.com)

Raised on the Peguis First Nation of Manitoba, Canada, William has been honing his craft since the age of nine when he first picked up the guitar and piano.

He garnered honours such as “Aboriginal Artist of the Year” at the 2016 Western Canadian Music Awards and “Contemporary Roots Album of the Year” at the 2017 JUNO Awards. In a full circle moment, he inducted Bruce Cockburn into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame and earned praise from not just Cockburn, but fellow inductee Neil Young.
